lmao this shit is nuts and an escalation of fascism we haven't seen since the early days after 9/11. After months of fear-mongering about the supposed takeover of all facets of government by MAGA fascists if Trump wins, the fuckin dems went and passed everything they warned us would pass if we didn't bend the knee and back Genocide Joe, I think most leftists (including me) are still too shell shocked at this early stage to realize the full implications of what we've just been hit with, seriously wtf

It's all a wash anyway, you can't do nonviolent protests. They'll eventually send in the police and inevitably start violent conflict regardless. Anyone who splits hairs over protests needing to be nonviolent is probably not gonna change their mind on the issue and isn't our ally.

Fair. And your point has been salient since before we were all born.
Just that "peaceful assembly" is even fuckier a concept since something as anodyne as a drum bullhorn or loudspeaker can apparently break it.
